SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Giants outfielder Cameron Maybin knew this spring training would be different. This was the first time he ever signed a minor-league deal during his 12-year, big-league career and Maybin knew the $1.75 million he’s set to earn this season would be his lowest figure since 2012 with the San Diego Padres. First, though, Maybin knew he had to make this Giants team as a non-roster invite.

There have been a ton of new — and sometimes harsh — realities Maybin has had to come to grips with since he signed with the Giants on Feb. 16. Like many players learned the past two offseasons, the free-agent market isn’t as pretty as it once was, mainly because of the league’s collective bargaining agreement. Maybin knew that, too.

But on Wednesday morning in the Giants’ home dugout, Maybin had to accept yet another reality: his DUI arrest last Friday. He knows this falls solely on him.
